Been messing with the logo some more, 1 thing I didn't like is that if you focus on the color instead of the white space it looks like a worm or perhaps evens something else.... So I made some changes. The middle one is my favorite one so far, still sort of a swirl. The colors are just an example based on the original.
i love this one! the swirl, the debian brand, is still recognizable, but it's much more modern. and i can still see the dachshund in the background. +100! i do hope you will make some proposals to the powers that be!
Yes, this is the best one so far. But I had totally missed that Buster was in there - old eyes. debiman's observation spoiled the illusion of abstractness so that kind of ruined it for me. Very clever and not my thing but it could be a contender. I also liked 'loose tail' quite a bit.
